About the Author - Sylvia Taylor
I know what it means to walk through wilderness seasons and feel the sting of losing yourself and most of the things you thought you knew along the way—and I also know what it means to come out stronger on the other side. I am a first-generation trailblazer and overcomer who has faced breaking points that could have crushed me in every way, but instead became the very places where God’s faith, resilience, and grace reshaped my life.
For years, I wrestled with questions of identity and worth. I smiled on the outside while silently carrying the weight of wilderness on the inside. Yet in that silence, God was writing a deeper story—one that reminded me that even in famine, loss, hurt, grief or delay, He wastes nothing.
As a writer and speaker, I sincerely carry a heart for those navigating transitions, disappointments, and unknowns. I don’t speak from theory but from the lived reality of finding God in the middle of shattered plans and unmet expectations. My encouragement flows from both Scripture and real-life encounters with His presence in barren places.
Through this devotional The Breaking and The Becoming: Faith and Trust in the Wilderness, I aim remind readers that their story isn’t over. What feels like loss is often just the setup for restoration so complete it will look like nothing ever went wrong. My prayer is that every page feels like a a hug, a push and a gentle reminder to trust God deeply, embrace the process of becoming, and believe that beauty really does rise from broken places.
